Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 11367

Received: 17/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Robert Felstead

Representation Summary:

The preferred plan period runs for 17 years (2020 – 2038) as opposed to the normal 15-year plan, extending forecast methods which are used to inform the plan by an additional 2 years.

I would therefore suggest that the Local Plan’s progress is scheduled for review no later than 5 years after the plan period commences. I also believe that if Council forges ahead with the Local Plan based on the existing MHCLG ‘unapproved’ Five Year Housing Land Statement dated January 2021 and Housing need Addendum dated February 2021, that the plan will need to be extensively reviewed shortly following publication of the 2021 Census data.
